Hardeep Singh Puri, @HardeepSPuri :

• Commentators around the world are eager to paint a motivated narrative of what without doubt is India’s exemplary & effective response to combat the #COVID19 pandemic. But facts speak louder than fiction.
• ICMR has already conducted a whopping one million RT-PCR tests for COVID19.
• A commendable effort by the team of scientists, doctors, field workers & lab technicians who have shown tremendous determination in these difficult times.
• Though every life matters & every loss of life is unfortunate, India has been able to restrict mortality at 0.76 per million.
• Compare this with the staggering number of deaths recorded in most other countries.
• Some nations have reported up to a staggering 630 deaths per million people.
• Let us stop picking holes & instead stand by our #CoronaWarriors in their remarkable fight.
